To whom muy concern.'

Be it known that l. SIDNEY li. Sonn'. a citizen ot' the llntcd States.residing at New York. in the county of New York and State ol ,New York.have invented certain new and useful ,Improvements in Necktie-DisplayBoxes; and .l do declare the .following to be a full7 clear. and exactdescription ot the invention. such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to display boxes and more particularly to boxesfor displayingr and storing neckties.

The object ot the invention is to provide a simply constructed deviceoiz this character which will reliably retain neckties. moreparticularly oi the four-in-hand and string type. in Jfolded super-posedposition within the box and .vet permit them to be '1' aidily displayedwithout removing them irom the box or de taeliing them troni theirsupport.

l.lVith this and other objects in view the invention consists of certainnovel 4features ot' construction, and the combination and arrangementot' parts as will be hereinafter more -fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure l represents a perspective view ot'a display box constructed in accordance with this invention showing twoseries ot' ties mounted therein; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectionthereot taken through one of the stacks or series ot' ties: Fig. 3 is adetail perspective view' ot the tray constituting a portion ot' thisinvention; and. Fig. 4 is a similar view m the` tie retaining band.

ln vthe embodiment illustrated a box l is shown ot ordii'iaryconstruction such as employed for packing and storing or displaying.neekties and which is here shown rectangular in toi-m provided with theusual upstanding flange 2 which encompasses it on ally sides. This boxis inovided with a cover (not shown) for protecting the ties whennot onexhibit.

A tray 3 is shown oi a shape and size to fit within the box l and whichis provided at one end with supporting means for holding` the tray'ininclined position said means being here shown in the form ot a dependingright angularljy1 disposed a'rin or flange 4 extending -transverselyacross one end thereojt' and preferably Formed by bending Serial No.26,351.

down the end ofsaid tray on a transverse line of fold. said flange orarm 4 being designed to be folded flat against the lower tace ot' thetray when said tray is to be arranged iiat within the box for storingpurposes to provide for the mounting of the top thereon. This tray 3 isprovided with one or more tongues 5 here shown arranged longitudinallythereof and struck out from the body ot' the tray with the bases of saidtongues secured to the tray about midway the length thereof and withtheir free ends disposed near the -upper fiange carrying edge of thetray Said tongues tapering gradually toward their free ends and saidfreeends squared to adapt them to conform to the shape of the ties to besupported. These tongues when so constructed conform substantially tothe shape of four-in-hand ties when they are folded in the positionusually employed for displaying them as is seen clearly in Figs. l andi2. Any desired number of ties T may be mounted on one of these tongues5 with the folded ends thereof folded over the free ends of the tongueslatented May 9, mq

in the position shown in Figi and 2 and Y which are retained inoperative position on theI tongues bygmeans of encircling bands (l, saidbands being ot' paper or any suitable material and adapted to slidelongitudinally over the tongues and the ties mounted thereon. to providefor the retention of the ties on the tongues and yet'permit them to beinspected by lifting the tree ends of said ties. These bands 6 are soconstructed and ot' sucha size that when one or more of the ties areremoved the bands will be permitted to slide further over the tonguetoward the wider base portion thereof 'and thus'reliadly clamp the tiesto the tongue. Vvlheu it is desired to place these ties -on exhibit thetrayli-is lifted. the arm or iiange i thereof is opened out into thepositionshown in the drawings and is supported against the end wall ofthe box l whereby the ties may be arranged at an incline to permit themto be clearly viewed by the possible purchaser. The tray while vervsimple in construction and cheap to manufacture very efcaciouslysupports and displays the ties.
